e T e BE ESTARISHED Erpct Al Marks to Fal Eloction Day By CARL D. GROAT (United Press Staff Correspondent) ‘Washington, Oct. 23 (UP)—Poli- ticians of both parties are looking forward to a record-breaking vote in the presidential election. Figures so far known {ndicate Leavy registration practically every- where with women voters preparing to exercise their voting right more extensively than ever before. Both camps are striving hard to “get out the vote,” and the indica- tions today are that while there will be an army of stay-at-homes, untold thousands will seek out the polls voluntarily on November 6 out of | sheer interest in the contest. From practically every corner of the land come reports that registra- tion is unparalleled this year. Many | experts look for a total vote of from | 35,000,000 to 40,000,000 compared with a total 1924 vote of between 29,000,000 and 30,000,000, New York Is Example | New York City offers a striking illustration of the interest this bat- tle between Herbert' Hoover and Gov. 8mith has developed. The registration there is 2,02 | or about 500,000 above the 1924 vote, Other New York state cities show an increase. Chicago with a 1,500,000 registration Is about one third above the total number vot- ing in 1924. For lllinois as a whole there are estimates of registration running 3,000,000 or more, a one fifth increase, or greater, over the 1924 vote. The city of Lincoln, N to date has about 30,000 reg- istration—a good gain over 1924. New York state probably will show a 20 to 30 per cent increase over 1924, These are merely samples of what Is happening in many quarters of the land. Even in the south where hitherto practically everybody voted democratic as a matter of course, and then chiefly in the pri-| maries, registration indicates a hith- | erto unequalled interest. | 58,000,000 Eligible | There are about 58,000,000 por-} sons eligible to vote in the coming election, and of this number about | 28,600,000 are women. Many of these both male and female will be stay at homes, however. Reports from many urban centers say that the women literally have | swamped the registration centers. In New York, Philadelphia, S8t Louis, 8t. Paul, Baltimore, Chicago and Loulsville, increased registration | is reported, and the women are aid- ing much to swell the totals. 300,000 Gain in Mass. In Massachusetts, it is estimated 1,700,000 persons have registered for this year compared with 1,405,227 in 1924; Maine reports an estimated in- crease of about one third; and Rh Island, of about one-tenth since 1924, Wisconsin’s total presi- dential vote in 1924 was 840,821, but only 568,541 registered in the September primary. A 10 to 15 per cent increase In volume is foreseen this year in Minnesota, North Da- kota and Bouth Dakota over 1924. The secretary of state of Ohio re-| ports cities there have broken all registration records and he antici- pates these figures will be at least 300,000 greater than in 1924. The combined rural and urban registra- tion (where recorded) is expected to reach 3,000,000, ‘Women Oatered To Both parties have paid particular attention to the woman vote. The republican efforts have perhaps had more publicity than the democratic, | but the efforts to corral the woman | vote probably cannot be compared as _to extent or effectiveness. Both’ sides are making strong claims as to their grasp on this increasingly jmportant element in the political situation. BOSTON PREPARING T0 WELCOME GOY. SMITH Democratic Nominee Expected to Make Six Speches in Masea- chusetts Besides Boston Boston, Oct. 28 (UP)—Governor Alfred E. Smith will carry his cam- paign into the home state of the man whom he hopes to succeed in the White House, tomorrow, and Boston was preparing today to ex- tend the democratic nominee a hearty welcome. ‘While in Massachusetts, the gov- ernor {8 expected to make six speeches. He will speak briefly at Springfield and Worcester, en route to Boston. Arriving here at 3:45 p. m., he will be taken on an automo- bile parade through the city, ter-| minating at the Parkman bandstand on Boston Common, where he will | make another brief speech. Before going to the Boston arena | for his principal evening address, he will speak before overflow meet- ings in 8ymphoay Hall and Mechan- | ics building. The arena address will be broad- cast nationally over WJZ and a net- work of 26 other stations, including | WBZ and WBZA in Massachus . Governor Smith will re n at Hotel Statler over night, leaving Boston Thursday at 11 a. m. En route to New York, he probably will make one or two stoos in Rhode Is- land and Connecticut. Massachusetts Police Chief Resigns Joh Ludlow, Mass, Oct. 23 (UP Following a liquor conspiracy t in which he was a defendant, Jo- seph A. Fouche resigned at mid-| night as police chief of this town | and his resignation was immediately accepted. Sergeant Henry H. Ben-| way will succeed him. | Belectman James J. Quinn and Motorcycle Officer Thon H Laughran were convicted and given | prison sentences a the conspir- | acy trial. Fouche was found not| guilty. The two remaining select- men, Chairman Harry N. Sanford and Arthur M. Brodeur, had been at odds since the trial over the ques- tion of whether Fouche should be| retained. | | READ HERALD CLASSIFIED AI)S[ FOR BEST RESULTS | WISE RAP§ RELIGIOUS INTOLERANCE IN TALK Says if Smith Were Protestant He ‘Would Be Overwhelmingly Elected to Presidency Boston, Oct. 23 (UP)—Attacking religious intolerance, Rabbi Stephen 8. Wise of New York, in a speech here last night, said that “it Gover- nor Smith were a Protestant he would be overwhelmingly elected.” More than 3,000 crowded Sym- phony hall and as many were turned | away from the meeting, which was | under the auspices of the Canadian- | Smith-for-president club, “I am here to raise my voice in solemn protest against the conten- tion that a man must be debarred from the presidency of the United | States because he is a member of | one rather than of another church,” Rabbi Wise declared. “Let me say to you Catholics who are here tonight that you have no more right to vote for a Catholic | because he is a Catholic than any | Protestant has a right to vote for a Protestant because he is a Protest- ant.” During his speech Rabbi Wise at- tacked Dr. John Roach Straton. this clergyman this question, ‘Would you pursue Governor Smith ith your wrath, your hatred, your venon, it he were a Baptist, a Pres- byterian, an Episcopalian? I do | not care what Dr. Straton's answer of the lips might be. I only know that if Governor Smith were a Pro- stant he would be overwhelmingly ted.” el CONTINUES CHECK OF BANK ACCOUNTS Philadelphia Probe Is Being Pressed Hard by Monaghan Philadelphia, Oct. 23 (A—District Attorney Monaghan who is directing | the grand jury investigation of gang murders, rum runners and police bribery today continued his checkup of 15 bank accounts in which de- posits of more than $10,000,000 were made in one year under fictitious names. The prosecutor said he believed the accounts were opened by boot- leggers and that he was endeavor- ing to learn whether there was any police connection with them. All of the accounts were in the Union Bank and Trust company, and with one exception, they were closed prior to 1928. The one remaining after that date was under the name of Charles Satterson. It contained deposits of $37,098.35, all of which was withdrawn by January 25 of this year, Many Questioned John 8. McCulloch, president, and other officials of the bank, have been questioned by the grand jury, but none of them was able to throw any light on the identities of the depositors. One of the accounts showed de- posits of $1,820,792.99 between April 1925, and January, 1926; another to- talled $1,714,616 between December, 1925 and July, 1926; a third showed a total of $1,515,272 between July 1926, and February, 1927, and an- other $1,317,360.14 between January and May, 1927. The others ranged from $37,000 to $44,250. “It is almost incredible,” Mon- | short, daylight jumps to be made in LADY ASTOR AND CARTER GLASS ON AR TONIGHT DBritish M. P.

Y., Oct. 23 UP—A new special train will be at the command of Governor Smith tomorrow for his final campaign swing, which will carry him through the thickly pop- ulated industrial seciions of the North Atlantic seaboard. The long train of compartment and sleeping cars in which he travelled some 10,000 miles in the west has been broken up and in its place a train of less than half its length has been assembled for the the east, Careful Study The next train, however, has been ordered only after careful study of the needs of the trip. It will con- sist of the “St. Nicholas.” the private car of W. F. Kenny, New York Cen- tral, and boyhood friend of the gov- ernor; a work car for newspaper correspondents, and a combination club-baggage car. These three cars are the only ones of the first eleven car special which was disbanded after the nominee's return here Sunday. The other two cars will be standard Pullman chair cars. On any trips where it may he needed a dining car will be added. In the baggage section of the combination car, Joseph L. Cohn, the governor's publicity manager, again will maintain the printing es- tablishment as on the two western trips. When arrangements for this car were being discussed, the nom- ince wanted to know why it would be needed. “What use are you going to have for a mimeograph machine?” he in- quired. “Well we have to get out your speeches and there may be an in- terview,” replied Cohn, *“We have got to be prepared.” Not Satisfied But apparently this did not satisfy the nominee for he insisted the cor- respondents would not have any use for it after the train arrived at Boston, the first stop on the trip, until 10 o’clock Thursday morning | fred E.

He mid that the governor had re. ferred to the tariff in 1922 as a ‘cold blooded holdup of the Ameri- can people,” and now was advocat- ing a ‘“competitive tariff.” Answers Crowd He Insisted a ‘“competitive tarift would not help American workmen, farmers or industry.” In another jibe at Governor Smith the senator referred to his speech of acceptance and said “he believed the governor had forgotten what he wrote, Some one in the crowd said “He aidn’t write it.” Curtis remark- ed “I don't know who wrote it." “Joe Robinson, wrote it,” sald a member of the crowd, which was in a cheering mood. “No, Joe Robinson didn't write ;:y;‘mng like that,” Curtis shot Cl Norman Thomas Brands Opponents in Speech Bridgeport, Oct. 23 (UP)— Branding both his opponents the tools of “big business,” Norman Thomas, socialist candidate for president, urged an audience last night to ‘vote for the things you belleve in.” Thomas said the ambition of the socialist party was te “put the ma- chinery of goverment to the service of providing pleaty, peace and free- dom.” The program would, he said include substitution of income, in- heritance and land value taxes for existing land and property taxer unemployement insurance, old age pensions and government ownership of natural resources and economic necessities.
